Large-scale deep neural networks (DNNs) such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved impressive performance in audio classification for their powerful capacity and strong generalization ability. However, when training a DNN model on low-resource tasks, it is usually prone to overfitting the small data and learning too much redundant information. To address this issue, we propose to use variational information bottleneck (VIB) to mitigate overfitting and suppress irrelevant information. In this work, we conduct experiments ona 4-layer CNN. However, the VIB framework is ready-to-use and could be easily utilized with many other state-of-the-art network architectures. Evaluation on a few audio datasets shows that our approach significantly outperforms baseline methods, yielding more than 5.0% improvement in terms of classification accuracy in some low-source settings.

While large-scale pretrained language models have obtained impressive results when fine-tuned on a wide variety of tasks, they still often suffer from overfitting in low-resource scenarios. Since such models are general-purpose feature extractors, ma
ny of these features are inevitably irrelevant for a given target task. We propose to use Variational Information Bottleneck (VIB) to suppress irrelevant features when fine-tuning on low-resource target tasks, and show that our method successfully reduces overfitting. Moreover, we show that our VIB model finds sentence representations that are more robust to biases in natural language inference datasets, and thereby obtains better generalization to out-of-domain datasets. Evaluation on seven low-resource datasets in different tasks shows that our method significantly improves transfer learning in low-resource scenarios, surpassing prior work. Moreover, it improves generalization on 13 out of 15 out-of-domain natural language inference benchmarks. Our code is publicly available in https://github.com/rabeehk/vibert.
Lyrics alignment in long music recordings can be memory exhaustive when performed in a single pass. In this study, we present a novel method that performs audio-to-lyrics alignment with a low memory consumption footprint regardless of the duration of
the music recording. The proposed system first spots the anchoring words within the audio signal. With respect to these anchors, the recording is then segmented and a second-pass alignment is performed to obtain the word timings. We show that our audio-to-lyrics alignment system performs competitively with the state-of-the-art, while requiring much less computational resources. In addition, we utilise our lyrics alignment system to segment the music recordings into sentence-level chunks. Notably on the segmented recordings, we report the lyrics transcription scores on a number of benchmark test sets. Finally, our experiments highlight the importance of the source separation step for good performance on the transcription and alignment tasks. For reproducibility, we publicly share our code with the research community.
In this paper, we present deep learning frameworks for audio-visual scene classification (SC) and indicate how individual visual and audio features as well as their combination affect SC performance. Our extensive experiments, which are conducted on
DCASE (IEEE AASP Challenge on Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events) Task 1B development dataset, achieve the best classification accuracy of 82.2%, 91.1%, and 93.9% with audio input only, visual input only, and both audio-visual input, respectively. The highest classification accuracy of 93.9%, obtained from an ensemble of audio-based and visual-based frameworks, shows an improvement of 16.5% compared with DCASE baseline.
Automated audio captioning (AAC) aims at generating summarizing descriptions for audio clips. Multitudinous concepts are described in an audio caption, ranging from local information such as sound events to global information like acoustic scenery. C
urrently, the mainstream paradigm for AAC is the end-to-end encoder-decoder architecture, expecting the encoder to learn all levels of concepts embedded in the audio automatically. This paper first proposes a topic model for audio descriptions, comprehensively analyzing the hierarchical audio topics that are commonly covered. We then explore a transfer learning scheme to access local and global information. Two source tasks are identified to respectively represent local and global information, being Audio Tagging (AT) and Acoustic Scene Classification (ASC). Experiments are conducted on the AAC benchmark dataset Clotho and Audiocaps, amounting to a vast increase in all eight metrics with topic transfer learning. Further, it is discovered that local information and abstract representation learning are more crucial to AAC than global information and temporal relationship learning.
This paper proposes a deep learning framework for classification of BBC television programmes using audio. The audio is firstly transformed into spectrograms, which are fed into a pre-trained convolutional Neural Network (CNN), obtaining predicted pr
obabilities of sound events occurring in the audio recording. Statistics for the predicted probabilities and detected sound events are then calculated to extract discriminative features representing the television programmes. Finally, the embedded features extracted are fed into a classifier for classifying the programmes into different genres. Our experiments are conducted over a dataset of 6,160 programmes belonging to nine genres labelled by the BBC. We achieve an average classification accuracy of 93.7% over 14-fold cross validation. This demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed framework for the task of audio-based classification of television programmes.
